Point on the testing darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 02:15:26 AM
Well, the testing is done only once per year. I suppose there is a small chance that you start sparking right after the last test and die before the next one. But I expect that for the most part you are right.


If a woman started channeling suddenly she would be immediately collared. No way a marath'damane channels in mainland Seanchan without being noticed. Look at how quickly they swarmed over the wondergirls in Falme and Joline in Ebou Dar! It would take months for a girl to die of the disease and likely she would channel a number of times in the mean time.

Sure the "formal" test is once a year, but you know the system takes into account women who channel in the mean time.

Seanchan girls. Do they live in terror until 25? Datakim - 02/06/2010 12:32:14 AM 1491 Views
It's a huge honor to be a sul'dam, and they test for that on the same day Deadsy - 02/06/2010 01:06:32 AM 867 Views

Nobody knows about Sul'dam because it takes them extra long to learn. FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 07:58:41 AM 1011 Views

I think it's seen as something that happens to other people. Gher - 02/06/2010 02:20:09 AM 739 Views
I think they retest only the sul'dam randfandom - 02/06/2010 04:13:55 AM 911 Views

I'd think that would be a tiny chance given how diligent the Seanchan are in this regard darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:58:15 PM 858 Views
Remember, Seancean have no idea channeling can be "learned" beetnemesis - 02/06/2010 07:04:11 AM 805 Views
This is how Damane and Sul'Dam are determined, straight from tGH FanEditor10 - 03/06/2010 08:14:03 AM 1142 Views
That doesn't make sense. Are you sure they don't put the BRACELET on the girls, not the collar? beetnemesis - 04/06/2010 01:35:08 AM 697 Views

Toun, though too young can be collared Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:29:29 AM 599 Views
I don't think Tuon will ever Channel darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:39:16 AM 747 Views

I just see all of that as potential plot lines for the planned follow-up Mat/Tuon in Seanchan novels darius_sedai - 08/06/2010 02:09:26 AM 802 Views

As with most things in Jordan's universe, I don't think it was thought through very seriously. Tom - 03/06/2010 08:05:04 PM 653 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 03/06/2010 08:44:35 PM 750 Views

Jordan definitely made mistakes with the Ajahs. In particular, the Black Ajah ones who fled. Tom - 03/06/2010 10:56:39 PM 697 Views

I don't know if that's totally true darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 12:09:29 PM 626 Views
Maybe you don't read that much serious literature? I just don't see why you are arguing this. Tom - 04/06/2010 03:47:50 PM 662 Views
I actually don't read much fiction at all to be honest darius_sedai - 04/06/2010 04:00:03 PM 685 Views
You're right about the fact that I have mostly contempt for Jordan. Tom - 04/06/2010 05:42:49 PM 652 Views
meh. I prefer non-fiction most of the time darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 03:44:38 AM 701 Views
I have read lots of fiction Rurouni_Kenshin - 06/06/2010 03:57:07 AM 693 Views

I think the number of characters directly contributes to the situation. Tom - 04/06/2010 03:51:42 PM 594 Views

Brandon brings out supporting chars. better, it's true. FanEditor10 - 04/06/2010 03:17:52 AM 707 Views
You're absolutely right. Sanderson gets "inside" the characters a bit more. *NM* Tom - 04/06/2010 03:52:29 PM 265 Views
